Hi,

Thanks for your answer Luigi. I know that PDF are printable, but the
main manual (cont-eni.pdf in English) has much redundant information
for printing, like all the navigation links. I would like saving paper
with a layout better adapter for printing.
With only the text of the chapters that displays on the left side and
if possible in portrait-oriented A4 format.

Is there some way keeping only the main text and reshaping the paper
with Ghostscript/GSView, Scribus or such tools ?

Was this job already done by some user ?

Thanks.

Julien
